GENTLEMAN'S CAFE, LOOKING TOWARD SIXTH STREET.
TODAY Portland receives another asset to its many attractive retreats. The
formal addition, occurs today at noon, when the new Hof Bran Grille and
m r Cafe will be opened in the former location of the Commercial Club at Sixth
and Alder streets.
For many weeks a small army of carpenters, painters, plumbers, mechanics
and decorators have been busily engaged in transforming the commodious quar
ters into a modern, up-to-date and thoroughly attractive grille and cafe. Backing
this enterprise are Messrs. Fritz Strobel and Charles Barenstecher, who formerly
conducted the Louvre, both of whom are well and favorably known as caterers
of long and wide experience. When even the most incipient plans were considered,
Messrs. Strobel and Barenstecher outlined a policy of making their new place as
thoroughly modern as could be possible, and the consummate pains and attention
that have been given to each detail are vouched for in the many features which
are combined to render the new Hof Brau a veritable palace of beauty.
This handsome new establishment will be conducted on the same plan and
system of the famous Hof Brau at Munich, which is so delightfully remembered
by all Americans who have visited this place while touring Germany.
DECORATIONS ABE ELABORATE.
The new Hof Brauf occupies L-shaped quarters, with entrances on Alder
and on Sixth streets. The Alder-street entrance, for ladies and their escorts,
leads to the main grilleroom, while that on Sixth street opens into the gentle
men's cafe. Within all is beautiful. The handsomely-worked tapestry wall
decorations of the grille are exact duplicates of those which adorn the walls of
the grille at Munich, typifying German home, student and peasant life, and were
executed by Ernest Miller, from plans direct from Sloan's, New York. The light
ing fixtures, which are of the old Dutch pattern, lend a further enhancing effect
to the general atmosphere, a pretty feature of which is the fixed lights, shed
ding their glow through transparent steins. The furniture, linens and silverware
are all highly representative of the manufacturers' art and round out a delight
fully pleasing appearance.
MENU TO SUIT EPICURES
The Hof Brau will serve and make a specialty of many famous German
dishes, and only the finest edibles will be used in the preparation of the menu.
Mr. Albert Haller, formerly chef at the Louvre, who has recently returned from
a trip to Europe, presides over the kitchen. Mr. Haller is eminently fitted to
make the fare of the new grille a keen gastronomic delight, and that he will do
so is a safe assurance. His domain, in its elaborate and modern equipment, is a
remarkable feature of the establishment and is wonderfully complete in every
detail. The huge ranges, the mammoth refrigerators, cooled by the Hof Brau's
individual ice plant, the heavy warming closets and the mechanically-operated
dishwashing machine are all features which insure guests that the service will
be unexcelled if modern methods count.
- WILL CATER TO THEATER PARTIES
It is the intention of the management to render the Hof Brau one of the most
noteworthy and popular attractions on the Coast, catering at all times to the
tastes of connoisseurs, and to make the grille and cafe veritable delights of rest
ful abandon, appealing especially to after-theater parties. The presence of Vic
tor E. Tarbell as steward advances a pleasing assurance of courteous attention
to every visitor.
CHOICE LIQUID REFRESHMENTS
'The cafe will be stocked and supplied with the finest and oldest products the
market affords, including a great range of imported beers, and Weinhard's cele
brated Rheingold and Kaiserblum brews. Every effort will be made to so sys
tematize the service that it may be without fault and please even the most exact
ing in every instance.

of the Prize - Winners.
SALEM. Or.. , July 17. (Special.)
Much to the surprise of everybody who
had taken an interest ln the Salem
cherry fair. Yamhill County carried off
first prize in the general exhibit com
petition. It Is agreed by an cherry ex
perts that Yamhill had the best ex
hibit and was entitled to the award.
The surprise is due to the fact that
Yamhill had never boasted particularly
of its cherries, while Polk is famed for
1t cherry product. The Yamhill ex
hibit was put up under the supervision
f M. O. Lownsdale, of North Yamhill.
His boxes of Royal Annes. nine inches
wide, contained but eight cherries in
a row. each cherry measuring, there
fore, 1 1-8 Inches. Color, flavor, text
ure and method of packing were also
taken into consideration.
Marion County was barred from com
peting for the grand prize because it
was thought that the county would have
an undue advantage by reason of loca
tion. The awards were as follows:

The strong feature of the Salem Cherry
Jfair is that every known variety of
cherries is on exhibition, while at fairs
held earlier only a few varieties could
be secured.
L.arge crowds visited the cherry pavilion
tnday. This evening an Immense throng
fills the strets 4n front of the midway
attractions. A successful balloon ascen
sion and parachute jump was conducted
this morning and will be repeated to
morrow morning.

STOCK BUYER IS SWINDLED
ASHLAND ENJOYS
OPERfPlFORE"
J. W. Machen Loses $1000 to Stran
ger on Bogus Letter of Credit.
PRAIRIE CITT, Or., July 17. (Spe
cial.) J. W. Machen, of Eugene, a
prominent stock dealer, claims to have
been swindled by a clever scheme here
a few days ago. A man giving his
name as H. Lane, from Iowa, succeeded
in obtaining 91000 from Machen under
false pretenses. Lane's whereabouts is
now unknown.
The clever stranger professed to be
a cattle-buyer and shipper for an
Eastern firm, and presented for his
purpose what looked like a letter of
credit for 95,000 on a well-known
Eastern bank, and addressed to the
First National Bank of Grant County
and the Bank of Burns. Machen be
lieved that he was familiar enough
with the Eastern bank to know that
the supposed letter of credit was all
right, and when Lane offered to take
him into partnership, Machen readily
handed over 91000.
The two men then separated to buy
cattle. After a week's time, during
which Machen failed to establish com
munication with Lane, he became sus
picious and did allhe could to locate
his partner, but to no avail. Machen
claims to be out $1000. and the banks
know nothing about Lane.

assembly's offerings than ever before.
Leading attractions of this week have
been John Sharp Williams, who. delivered
a lecture before a large audience on Mon
day afternoon, his subject being "A Talk
on Oratory."
Some Excellent Lectures Heard.
Bishop Mclntyre, who is an enthusiastic
Chautauqua worker, has lectured three
times besides giving a sermon on Chau
tauqua Sunday. His lecture on "Lin
coln" Tuesday is counted one of the best
things of this year's program. Mont
gomery, the farmer-painter man, won the
hearts of his auditors here. He says he
Is coming back to Oregon to start some
thing, which he intimates will be a great
art studio, open to all the world. Mont
gomery has fallen in love with the coun
try and he marvels at what is keeping
5.000.000 more of people rrom settling in
Oregon. Dr. Ira Landrlth has been an
inspiration for the Chautauquans here
this year and his splendid addresses have
been unusually well received. Ir. House
has also been well received, in fact he is
always well received at the Ashland
Chautauqua and is much admired here.
Dr. Edwin (Cyclone) Southers was the
last platform attraction, speaking yester
day afternoon and evening.

two years in Berlin, have won new laur
els and renewed popularity here. They

SUNDAY THEATER MUST GO
Supreme Court' Denies Rehearing in
Effort to Test Validity of Law. (
OLYMPIA. Wash., July 17. (Special.)
Final definite action was taken by
the Supreme Court today in the matter
of the Sunday closing of theaters
when a motion . was denied for a re
hearing of the habeas corpus case of
Frank H. Donnellan. of Seattle. In the
Herald case, from Tacoma, months ago,
the Supreme Court sustained the va
lidity of the law prohibiting theatrical
entertainments on Sunday. Theater
owners all over the state became in
terested at once and the discovery was
made that the original law which was
passed in territorial days had exempted
Snohomish County from its provisions,
which It was contended made the act a
special law prohibited by the consti
tution. A test case was, therefore,
made by the arrest of Donnellan, a Se
attle . theater manager, and the insti
tution of habeas corpus proceedings
on his behalf. The Supreme Court held
that the law. when copied into the code,
omitted the Snohomish exception and on
its adoption became a'new and valid act.
As a final move the theater people then
asked a reahearing. which the Supreme
Court has now denied.
